COVESA Member News
What a great first half of the year it has been for COVESA with continued growth and interest. In April, we kicked off the second quarter with a wildly successful All Member Meeting held in Leipzig, Germany. This was followed by the much-anticipated event at AutoTech: Detroit in June where COVESA had a strong presence on stage and on the showroom floor driving a standout experience to increase COVESA awareness and engagement with existing members and prospects.
To top off the AutoTech: Detroit event, we had a full house at our annual networking reception. Thank you to our networking event sponsors (see below) for their continued alliance support. The positive response we have received from our presence at AutoTech has boosted our member interest substantially with new members joining COVESA each month. A big welcome to some of our recent new members: Humanising Autonomy, Cymotive Technologies, Garrett Motion, Innovation Works, Emergency Safety Solutions, Mojio, Area X.O., Stellantis, MAVI.io, TuneIn, and Rivit360.
The COVESA Board was able to meet in person in Frankfurt, Germany early July to discuss the next 18-24 month outlook for strategic planning.
Please read on to learn more about our significant inroads over Q2.

Open source software development today has a strong track record of producing high-quality code. However, this first requires an established common design. Preferably, this design should be developed in a similar open paradigm, and given approval from the relevant industry as a formal or de-facto standard.
The shared efforts in this scenario lead to a simplified development effort from participating members, compared to doing it solely, and the interoperability that standards provide also leads to a simplified "plug-in" deployment.
In the world of connected vehicles, everyone wants access to vehicle data and functions from both outside and inside the vehicle. The only way to do this in a sane efficient way is to standardize vehicle interfaces and data. The time is right for multiple automakers to make this a reality. If I were an OEM, given the recent announcement by Apple, it would be a priority to me to work with other OEMs to tell the big tech companies, “This is how you interface with our vehicle.” Currently, it is often the other way around. This would be a win all around for consumers, OEMs, and tech companies.
